True Value of working on old Mopars

The other week I spent a wonderful afternoon working on the old girls (64 and 56 Mopars). As I was finishing up tired, dirty, bleeding, but weirdly satisfied and calm I was reminded of a recent conversation with a friend. He was soap boxing about his views on materialism. How people are owned by their things and couldn't understand me buying and working on old cars. He and many like him miss the point...it's not about owning...

My favourite quote is by an old time mechanic who said this about fixing old cars......

".... it is by our care for a thing, rather than our need or desire for it, that we realize its intrinsic worth."

I tend to agree.

Pics of a great afternoon...

Playing around with some filters trying to make it look like these were from mid 60's instead of this year.

Dear Sir,
I would like to watch you enjoy re torqueing my aluminum heads (on the driver's side) and repositioning my headers to bolt on accordingly again, driver's side!! I will enjoy this entertainment! :)
